  • Not the field you’re talking about, but I worked in television news broadcasting for a while, and yes, the goal was absolutely to get a job at a bigger station with more news and thus more work and faster pace.

    Our production manager used to try to train us for the bigger markets as well, he described it as making sure the team could “think on their feet” and deal with unexpected scenarios calmly and quickly.

    So at least in that industry, yes, the goal is to end up in a more high stress workplace.

    Believe it or not, some people actually really thrive in high-stress environments and do terribly in low-stress environments because it’s simply not exciting enough to keep them engaged with the work.



  • The privacy community has a pretty favorable view of System1:

    For sure, but this was last updated May 2022.

    So here’s the thing, it’s admirable when companies do this, but the reality is that the whims and desires of the parent company can change in an instant. Sure, it’s privacy focused now. Can we be assured of that in five, ten, fifteen years? There are zero guarantees for this sort of thing. Especially for a “special purpose acquisition company.”

    It’s essentially something that should be under endless audit under all the companies claiming good privacy policies, how willing they are to stick to their guns instead of giving in for profit.

    Because it always can and will change so we must “Trust, but verify” at all times.
